Voorspel de toekomst met Yahoo Buzz

Yahoo! heeft in samenwerking met uitgever O’Reilly een online game ontwikkeld waarbij toekomst voorspellen, zoekresultaten en handelen in virtuele aandelen de basis ingredienten lijken te vormen.

Vanaf de website: “The Tech Buzz Game is a fantasy prediction market for high-tech products, concepts, and trends. As a player, your goal is to predict how popular various technologies will be in the future. Popularity or buzz is measured by Yahoo! Search frequency over time. Predictions are made by buying virtual stock in the products or technologies you believe will succeed, and selling stock in the technologies you think will flop. In other words, you “put your play money where your mouth is.”
